WHAT Do You Know About GOD ?

How Do You Learn More ?

A Devotional Message Written for Preteen Children and their Parents

By: George Nielsen

God’s Word is the best place to learn about God.    When we study the Holy Bible, God’s Word, this serves a purpose – we get to know God.   We also can learn about life, from both the good and the bad examples of people that are in the Bible.     Read and consider these two passages from the Holy Bible:

Psalm 119: 41-42

41 Let Your mercies come also to me, O Lord—
Your salvation according to Your word.
42 So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me,
For I trust in Your word.

Psalm 24: 1-2, and 8

1The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the waters.

8 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
The Lord mighty in battle.

The Holy Bible teaches that God is Almighty, He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and that we – people here on earth – are special, His highest and best creation (“We are His offspring” – Acts 17: 28).   He is a good, kind, loving God.   He also is Holy; He hates sin, and practices true and perfect justice, when He punishes sin.    

God offers mercy to people, through His plan for our salvation, through faith in the Son of God, Jesus Christ.    So, the first part of our message to people, from the Holy Bible, known as The Gospel, can be simply stated as “Come to JESUS”.  Trust in Him as Your Savior – believe that He paid the price for your sins, and you can be forgiven and adopted into God’s family if you make a commitment to Jesus.  Repent of sins that you have committed and agree to serve Jesus. Obey Him, as your Lord.  

The second part of our message, The Gospel, is that Jesus is the King of Glory.  We become Kingdom members when we Come to Jesus.   Jesus is a mighty, victorious King.  Even though there is still much evil and rebellion against God in our world now, there is a day coming, known as The Day of the Lord.   On that Day, all rebellion and evil will be defeated by Jesus and His heavenly armies.  This will establish the Kingdom of God fully, on the earth.   

We have a mission – as we serve Jesus, we are also to work to push back evil and spiritual wickedness.   This will expand the rulership of Jesus as King now, over more and more of the earth and by testifying to others about The Gospel, we can do our part to help more people Come to Jesus, too.

Trust in His Word.  LEARN all you can by studying the Holy Bible.  Come to JESUS, our Lord, Savior, and King.   Then – serve Him.
